Welcome to Kendall Square, a 10-acre, award-winning, master-planned development growing into a community of world-class office and lab space, beautiful apartment towers, restaurants, and retail shopping linked together by 2.5 acres of lush, landscaped open space. In the winter, the 8,400-square-foot skating rink is open seven days a week, while in warmer weather people gather on open plazas for lunch, concerts, a farmer's market, a canoe/kayak rental, and more.
